Milestone
Visual Compiler Graphs is currently one of the supported output formats for
pyreverse
.However this is a very old format (the linked article talks about MS Windows 3.1 😀), and it is really hard to even find tools that can render this format.
The link included in the source code does not contain a download link as promised, and the mentioned debian package cannot be found anymore.
I talked to various colleagues that I thought might have heard about this format, but no one ever did.
Especially because verifying changes to the
.vcg
testdata is hard and might even scare potential contributors, I propose to deprecate - or even better, as it is seemingly very outdated and probably not used anymore - remove.vcg
support entirely.Maybe we could put the deprecation warning in 2.17 and remove it for 3.0?
